i read that HD2 has a flash player but if you look at this site
www.expedia.com
the portion of flash (to the right) will not be seen
The HD2 comes with a standalone Flash Lite player, for playing SWF files.
Opera does not support Flash (I think the Opera 10 beta may do, but the default installed version 9.7 does not), but IE does.
It's not the phone that plays Flash files. It's the software.
You can also get get Skyfire, a free alternate browser. However, Opera gives a really better browsing experience, so the best choice would be to keep Opera for standard browsing, and use Skyfire for flash.
the Flash Lite player does not play my .swf files??
is this the reason why my kids could not use my HD2 to play on facebook/farmville ?

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
I install flash player 7 in pda..But no watching flash short film in opera and IE..
what can i do
The Flash Lite is not yet officially released. You can try out a few ROMs that are cooked with Flash installed and works well with Opera as well as PIE.
The Flash 7 you installed is a plugin for Mobile Internet Explorer. I believe that Opera 9.5 come with Flash Lite 3.0. Neither version will allow you to watch most videos. YouTube has a mobile site that is supported by the HD but of course, the HD also comes with the YouTube client. Pocket TV is a top rated free application that plays MPG's and some other formats.
Is there any way to play flash games on the HD2? Doesn´t Opera 10 support flash? It would be so great to be able to play any flash game in the browser!
You could try running them in the Skyfire browser.

It doesn´t work. I´ve installed Adobes Flash Player for mobile devices, tried IE, Opera 9, Opera 10 beta 3 and now Skyfire.
Lets say I´d like to play the extremely addictive game desktop tower defense (google it) on my HTC HD2. Is this possible in any way atm?
this one works for me in IE.. but no way to control it.. maybe with a bluetooth keyboard? I don't know the game..
http://towerdefencegames.com/desktop-tower-defence.html
maybe you should deinstall the flashplayer you installed.. The HD2 has the latest flash lite player pre-installed..
i looked ino this a couple of weeks ago with no joy. besti did was find a couple of tower defence games written 4 win mo.
Hi
Can anyone tell me if I should be able to watch flash videos from the BBC news website? I am using stock opera 9.7 and I can't view them. I know that the device is not flash 10 compatable (gggrrr) but am unsure if I should be able to view the videos embedded on the bbc news site. Can anyone else??

It used to be possible to play them in Internet Explorer, but I've a feeling the BBC may have changed the format recently. I don't think they'll play in Opera Mobile 10, either, even though that does have some flash support. Your best bet is probably to use Skyfire.
They work in IE just fine for me, even the watch live streams for bbc2 ,3 etc work the only videos that dont work for me on the BBC site are the Live bbc 1 stream and iPlayer which show green and garbled stuff
Opera has never worked on the bbc videos for me at least, always moans about no javascript enabled or wrong version of flash
just tried to use IE and when I click a video IE crashes and closes. very anoying.....
Try, http://get.skyfire.com/.
thanks, i have used skyfire and it works ok but seems v slow compared to opera. I was trying to see if its possible just to have one browser that does everything! I guess not. It's very annoying and the only thing that really niggles me about the HD2. You'd think browsing would be the thing they'd really want to sort but no..... we still have to use 2 or 3 browsers depending on what we want to do. A bit of a joke really......
I hope some clever bod here can somehow get flash 10 to work on the HD2 seeing as it now seems that Adobe aren't!! I wonder if I could sue adobe? You spend £300+ on a handset as they say the HD2 will be the first WM device to support flash10 then a few weeks after I splash out they announce that they are no longer doing so!!! ggggrrrrrr

Lol I use Opera 9.7 for everyday browsing and I have Skyfire, Opera 10 and IE installed for 'backup browsing'!
Hi
Looking for a rom that will operate the flash videos from internet
Thank you
Its not a ROM you're looking for. If you want to view them in a browser window then the new Opera 10 will do it as long as you have the flash for WM plugin installed and plugins enabled within flash. Otherwise a decent multimedia player such as CorePlayer will play the files directly from phone or memory card
sky fire 5
opera 10 final
energy roms are the best...
Add skyfire 5 and you are good 2 go
and you need SKYFIRE browser. Choose stable ROM to prevent lagging in playing those files.
I had once rom worked at a flash site but I do not remember what it was
http://www.skyfire.com/ it really works, and it is very good web site load very quickly
thanks
